THE Chapel Gallery in Bromyard is to display work by local and regional artists in an exhibition called ‘Into the Woods’.

The exhibition will explore the nature of humanity's ambiguous response to trees.

A spokesman said: "It will also look at "the significance of trees in the landscape, at their significance to us for use as a practical working material, as living forms in the natural world and how we view them through the myths and legends we have created around them.

"A walk in the woods might highlight the simple beauty of nature or evoke deep and ancient fears of being lost in some dark place."

The fifteen artists, whose work will be shown at The Chapel Gallery, have each been invited to respond in their own way to this subject.

The spokesman added: "The work on show will range from traditional paintings, prints and drawings through to more abstract concepts of trees in both two and three dimensional works. There will be an artist present each day available to talk in more detail about the work in the exhibition. The gallery is a welcoming space in which to take a look at new work and make new discoveries."

The exhibition will run from Sunday, July 1 to the following Sunday, from 11am to 5pm, but the venue will be closed on the Monday and the Tuesday.
